The last update on the Croteam website (http://www.croteam.com/) talks about the Serious Sam Xbox game:

- Gameplay is changed to suit the console, with auto-aiming, scores, bonuses, lives, secrets, etc.
- All models are changed to work with SKA and quality of almost all models is increased
- Weapon models and texturing have been improved
- Totally new client-server network code
- New HUD
- New Menu design
- New Netricsa design
- Load times have been lowered drastically
- Levels from The First and Second Encounter were rearranged to make for one fluid game, making it a total of 36 singleplay levels in 5 episodes
- New multiplayer levels
- Lead character was renamed to John from Vegas
- The previous statement was a joke
... and many more

It seems like such a decent engine, why don't more companies license it? I mean, I'm pro Carmack and Sweeney, but the "SS" engine does some pretty cool things.

Serious Sam 2 is the best FPS I've played since Unreal Tournament, hearing a third one is being made makes me feel giddy with joy.

*joy*

I still have to get SS1 though. :D I should check bargain bins at Future Shop.

Way to go Croteam!! Those guys are geniuses at making a simple game that is well worth the budget price you pay for it, and cranking them out in a timely fashion at that!

What'd you guys think of SS:SE? I thought it SUCKED. They put the monsters in the most annoying locations you could possibly think of. I couldn't play through one level without getting seriously pissed off. It was a lot more frustruating than it was fun... And this is from someone who LOVED the first one...

I can't imagine serious sam would be nearly the same on a controller. It's the pinnacle of FPS speed, twitchyness, and tracking multiple targets.

YES!! Though this has never been too unlikely to happen.

I'm looking forward to SS3, that's a fact. I wonder how amazingly beautiful it will look 'cos SSSE looked mighty fine.
